Hi all,

I am trying to put a "times" symbol (like the letter x, but not exactly,
LaTeX $\times$) into an iTools annotation. I found it in the Helvetica
font table at position 327 (octal), but I don't know how to add it to
the iTools annotation.

David's description on http://www.dfanning.com/ographics_tips/greek.html
doesn't seem to help because since I am not creating the text object
programmatically I can't use the string() function. Or can I somehow?

Thanks for your help,
Benjamin
